TeleCheck is a consumer reporting agency that keeps a record of your banking habits as reported by the banking relationships and financial institutions you’ve done business with.
Banks and credit unions report information relating to how you’ve managed your banking accounts to Telecheck or ChexSystems. These financial institutions report information such as excessive overdrafts, account abuse, and unpaid non-sufficient fund fees to Telecheck.
When you apply for a new bank account who uses Telecheck as part of their verification process, you may be ineligible to open an account.
As a consumer reporting agency, Telecheck must follow the FCRA rules for reporting only accurate information that is verifiable. You have the right to request a free copy of your report and dispute inaccurate information and errors.
